Review: Ubeats 3.5 mm Interface Mega Bass Headset

Note: Though I’ve done my best to give a fair and honest review of the UBeats 3.5 mm headset, but somehow feel the need to disclose that I have received the review unit from Tmart.com for free.

Similar to every other tech product we have, Ubeats 3.5 mm Interface Mega Bass Headset has its own set of pros and cons. The thing which affects an user’s decision to buy or not to buy it is dominated by the fact that whether the cons outweigh the pros or not. We shall talk about both these factors of these earphones and let you make the decision yourself.

Box Pack:

One of the best parts of the headset was how neatly it was packed. The box pack of this headset looks better than many low end mobile handsets. Coming to the contents, we get the Earphones, a protective bag, an Ear clip, 6 Ear plugs and a audio CD.

The audio CD contained some tracks I didn’t really like. The CD ended up adding in the plastic garbage of my house. God, I hate polluting the environment but that was the only option I had with the kind of tracks present in the CD.

Everything else looked good (physically). Especially, I liked the 3 set of ear plugs these earphones came with. The varying size of the ear plugs make sure that these fit almost every kind of human ears.

The Earphones:

Looks don’t lie, or do they? The earphones look pretty attractive. I really liked the design aesthetics of these earphones. But as soon as I plugged in the earphones to my Windows laptop, I was blown away. Why? Because the laptop didn’t recognize the connected earphones. Heck, even the earphones you get on the roadside are easily detected.

Impatient to test out the earphones, I quickly turned to my Android mobile phone and thankfully it detected the earphones.

From the time I spent on the earphones, here is the experience I had:
  1. Don’t get fooled by the presence of the word “Mega Bass” in the earphones’ name. The bass is very weak, even after setting my equalizer to “Full Bass” mode.
  2. Treble is good.
  3. Earplugs fit in perfectly and sound isolation is also brilliant.
  4. Mids and lows are good but I didn’t really like the highs.

Specifications:

For tech nerds, here are some specifications.
Length: 48.03” / 122 cm
Weight: 5.96 oz / 169 g

Pricing:

The Ubeats 3.5 mm Interface Mega Bass Headsets are currently available for $11.26 from tmart.

Alternatives:

Converting this to Indian Price, these will cost you around INR 700. For that price, you can get Creative EP-630 or Sound Magic ES-18. Both of these earphones have received good reviews from most of their users.

Final Words:

If you can live without bass, go for them. Thumbs up for the design, not-so-tangly wire and the nice way in which it fits the ear. Thumbs down for sound output and incompatibility with laptops and computers.
